Law (general)
Decree
This term appears many times in relation to a decree concerning a National Development Investment Agency.
e.g. L'Agence est chargée de suivre l'état d'avancement des projects d'investissement ayant bénéficié des avantages prévus par l'ordonnace No. 20011-03 XXXX.
e.g. Le directeur général établit un rapport trimestriel au conseil national d'investissement visé à article 18 de l'ordonnance No. XXX... et au conseil d'administration de l'Agence, faisant état des déclarations d'investissement déposée, des décisions d'octroi ou de refus des avantages.
I hesitate to use "benefits" especially since it appears in tandem with "béneficier" and this dictionary definition doesn't seem appropriate. Could this simply refer to "funding". Your input would be appreciated.

privileges
I would say privileges because that covers the gamut of possible "avantages" hinted at in the context, be they tax advantages, funding, cheap loan rates, reduction in social charges for new hires etc etc

: "Prerogative" does not work here. It doesn't sound contextually accurate.
